The annual Corporate Jet Investor Miami conference kicked off on Monday afternoon under the eye of a shifting political reality in the U.S., with open questions for the business aviation industry that are now front and center talking points. The session began with the sharing of survey data from 205 industry respondents regarding their feelings on the current state of the industry.

Notably, the median score of optimism for the state of business aviation was 7.5, albeit higher than European respondents’ median score of 6.8. Fifty percent of total respondents were most optimistic about ultra-long-range aircraft, while 75% of respondents thought preowned sales of aircraft would outperform expectations.
